Heljan 47 Bound for Roy Jackson's 'Retford' in EM

Heljan 47 Bound for Roy Jackson’s ‘Retford’ in EM

This weekend we are attending the York Model Railway Show for the first time as a trader, so drop by and say hello. The pictures today show an EM gauge Class 47 that has had a makeover and is part of the fleet of locomotives that runs on Roy Jackson’s ‘Retford’ layout. Previously we have shown the Laserglaze kits and Extreme Etchings fitted to Bachmann and ViTrains models, the base locomotive here is the Heljan model, so you can see how the appearance is markedly improved with the addition of the glazing and fan and grill sets. We’ve also added the Brush Works plates from our range. This depicts an early series locomotive and reference images were provided showing the locomotive working southbound through Retford in the early 1960’s.
